Question

The following story is narrated by the character Robin. If the story were narrated by the character Tommy, what two things would the reader learn? The door opened and the thin boy with ruffled hair stared at me. He was wearing an orange t-shirt and held a baseball bat in his hand. “Robin,” he whispered. If I had known that Tommy Gilmore was the guy I would end up marrying 10 years later, I would have looked at him more closely. But at that time, all I realized was that I wasn’t on Mrs. Windermere’s doorstep. “Oh! I am sorry! I have the wrong door!” I blurted out and disappeared from his sight. Years later, when we discussed the events of that afternoon, Tommy insisted that I had blushed, smiled, and made conversation. He even swears that I wore a yellow sundress that day, when actually I was wearing jeans. I think that Tommy always saw things the way he wanted to. what Tommy thought when he saw Robin why Robin wore jeans that afternoon why Robin wanted to see Mrs. Windermere why Robin knocked on the wrong door what Tommy felt on hearing the knock

Answer 1

The reader would learn Tommy's initial thoughts and feelings upon seeing Robin and hearing the knock. Tommy's narrative could reveal his own perceptions and romanticized memories of their first encounter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the story narrated by Robin were told from Tommy's perspective, the reader would likely gain insight into what Tommy thought when he saw Robin and what Tommy felt on hearing the knock at the door.

Since the current narration mentions Tommy insisting on details like Robin's blushing and mistaken attire, it can be inferred that his version would include his initial impressions and feelings about Robin which could be quite different than Robin's account.

Furthermore, if Tommy was the one narrating, we might understand his own perceptions and potentially why he remembered the events differently, such as Robin wearing a yellow sundress instead of jeans, which reflects his personal biases or romanticized recollections.
